Our Process
-
Through a demo (which you can book here), reading about us, through our contact form (which you can access here), or any other means, learn about who we are and what we do! We want to earn your business, we don’t want to take it without proving it’s worthwhile.
-
Once you’ve determined that you want to sign up, one of our account managers will get you set up! We use a service platform called TeamBuildr to deliver our programming, which some programs already use and some don’t. At this point, we will make sure you get equipped with all the software you’d need.
-
All of the programming is tailored specifically to each athlete and stored per athlete’s account, so it’s important to get them set up correctly. One of our account managers can help you get that set up, either through a mass upload of data or by sending information out for the athletes to do themselves.
-
There are a few elements of hardware that are necessary to make Golfinch fly. The most important is a laser timing system. The brand we recommend is the Dashr system (which can be viewed here INSERT AFFILIATE LINK).
If you’re on the fence about purchasing a timing gate, we have systems to rent or “lease-to-own” at a low monthly cost. It’s important to have this accurate measurement process in place, since much of the programming contains short bursts where hundredths of a second matter to indicate improvement, stagnation, or regression in athlete performance.
-
No matter what season of training you’re in—in or out of season are the same—a pre-test is vitally important. For out-of-season metrics, it will allow for baseline setting as well as determining fatigue levels of multi-sport athletes who may have just come out of another season.
For in-season metrics, it will allow you to track an athlete’s output capacity throughout the season to inform when you can push and when they need to be given recovery.
-
Once a pre-test is scheduled, the program really shines. With Goldfinch Speed, you get specifically tailored lesson plans, coaching points for drills, measurement and incentive plans, and a whole lot more.
An additional bonus of working with Goldfinch Speed is the ability to share in our Goldfinch Leaderboard, which allows you to compare your athletes’ results to all the athletes in our system to see how you stack up.
Our program is built to train athletes in and out of each of the primary sports seasons, as well as the athletes who participate in many of those sports. An appropriate, coherent plan throughout the year can make all the difference.
